Sound the siren: The Carolina Hurricanes are back on the ice. Here’s what you need to know ahead of the Canes’ 2024-25 season, including roster updates, can’t-miss games, and more.

What’s new at the Lenovo Center

The Canes’ home ice is now called the Lenovo Center, and along with the new name comes new offerings for fans, like Alpaca Peruvian Chicken on the main + upper concourses and Sodabox in Priority Lounges.

Pro tip: The merch store at the Lenovo Center is open outside of gametime from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m, Monday through Friday. Plus, brands like New Era have been added to the shop, and you can shop online + pick up in store.

Meet the team

The Canes had a whirlwind offseason, resigning players like Seth Jarvis and Jordan Martinook, and adding defenseman Sean Walker. Unfortunately, that meant letting go of some Canes faves (we’ll miss you Teuvo Teravainen, Brady Skjei, and Brett Pesce). Read more about who’s coming to Carolina this season.

If you’re looking for players to cheer for, you can never go wrong with Hurricanes mainstays like Sebastian Aho, Martin Necas, and Andrei Svechnikov, all of whom have been with Carolina for over six seasons.
